I <br />benefited from the presentation by the St. Paut Water Utility, and have a better understanding of <br />the issues relating to the quality and cost for treatment of the surface water sources for the <br />drinking water for the St: Paul Area. I certainly understand he need to examine all feasible <br />alternatives, but at this time, I cannot be hopeful that the Grass Lake Water Management <br />.Organization board members would support a diversion of potentially nutrient-rich flow from the <br />Vadnais Lakes Area Water Management jurisdiction toward Grass Lake. Both water quality and <br />quantity issues would be problematic; Grass Lake is a unique wetland complex that is understood <br />to'be of regional significance, and we have already seen unprecedented water levels in the area in <br />the past three years due to increased/redirected flows. <br />Again, thanks for asking for Grass Lake WMO's participation in this discussion. Please contact <br />me as further study results become available, andlet me know if we can be of any assistance. <br />Sincerely, <br />GRASS L KEW ER MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION <br />.Mark J.
